I've gone bald, and become stronger!

Foster Father signed.

The moment consciousness returned, the salty sea breeze filled his nostrils.

Wrong.

Lin Fei's thoughts paused for a second.

"My nose is gone!!!"

This realization made him abruptly open his eyes and spring up from a simple beach lounge chair.

What met his eyes was a blue sky and a golden beach.

And a lone pink house, with the giant letters "Kame House" written on its wall.

Kame House.

Lin Fei's brain buzzed. He looked down at his body.

An orange Turtle School martial arts uniform, old-fashioned, but washed to a faded white.

His hands were calloused, but noticeably smaller. His legs were short and sturdy, full of explosive power.

This was... Krillin's body.

He stumbled towards Kame House, pushed open the slightly ajar door, and the mirror inside reflected his current appearance.

A short, bald man, with six conspicuous incense scars on his forehead. His faceless features were squeezed together, looking somewhat comical.

It really was Krillin.

The character in the Dragon Ball world, known as the strongest Earthling, yet always chasing after the Saiyan's shadow, a character full of talent and regret.

As he absentmindedly touched the incense scars on his forehead, a voice devoid of any emotional fluctuation sounded directly in his mind.

[Detected host soul and body fully synchronized, meeting activation conditions.]

[Invincible Devour System, officially activated.]

Lin Fei's body froze.

System?

[Novice gift package has been issued, please check, host.]

A semi-transparent blue light screen unfolded before him, with only a few lines of text.

[Novice gift package contents are as follows:]

[Appearance Template: Choose one of three]

Lin Fei's breathing suddenly quickened.

He quickly focused his attention on the first reward.

Three options were listed side-by-side on the light screen, each with a dynamic character model next to it.

Option 1: Saitama (Hero Form). Description: Possesses the potential to break through the limiter, Skill: Serious Punch.

Option 2: Garou (Monster Form). Description: Demonic horns, body covered in hardened armor, possesses extremely high martial arts talent and evolutionary ability.

Option 3: Boros (Cosmic Overlord). Description: Cyclops, armor restrains energy, can unleash planet-destroying power upon release.

Lin Fei hesitated for almost no time.

Garou's martial arts talent was strong, but his upper limit depended on his opponents. Boros's power was innate, with a clear limit.

Only Saitama, that man's strength, was pure, unreasonable, breaking the limiter of life dimensions through the most basic training.

His growth had no end.

"I choose one, the Saitama template."

Lin Fei thought silently.

[Selection confirmed: Saitama appearance template.]

[Template fusion commencing, estimated duration ten seconds. Fusion process will involve intense physical modification, please endure, host.]

As soon as the system prompt finished, an indescribable, excruciating pain exploded from the depths of every cell in Lin Fei's body.

His bones cried out, emitting a bone-chilling "crackling" sound.

He felt his spine being forcibly stretched by an invisible force.

His limbs, originally slightly thick from years of martial arts training, were being repeatedly compressed and reshaped, becoming more compact, each muscle fiber containing explosive power.

His height increased at a visible rate.

The height of 1.53 meters was quickly surpassed, reaching 1.6, 1.7, and finally settling around 1.75 meters.

The martial arts uniform, which was slightly loose, was instantly stretched taut, outlining a perfect inverted triangle physique.

The most bizarre change occurred on his face.

The six incense scars on his forehead, as if erased by an eraser, rapidly faded until they disappeared, his skin becoming smooth and new.

In the mirror, the short and comical Krillin was gone.

Instead, a well-built young man with a shaved head, clad in an orange martial arts gi, stood before him.

His facial features had become more defined. Though he still lacked a nose, the combination somehow exuded a peculiar sense of peace and detachment.

He looked exactly like the man who solved every problem with a single punch.

The intense pain came and went as quickly as it arrived.

Lin Fei moved his body, a sense of unprecedented fullness surging through him.

He could clearly feel a nascent yet incredibly pure power hidden within this new body.

Template fusion complete.

Passive skill "Serious Punch (Growth Edition)" has been loaded.

Skill description: The host can gather all their strength into a single punch, unleashing an attack that surpasses their current limit. Its power grows with the host's base strength, with no upper limit.

Lin Fei slowly raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist.

The air let out a faint popping sound.

This was... the power seed of Saitama.

Even though it was just the growth edition, it had already given him the initial capital to survive and establish himself in this dangerous world.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart and began to sort through the original memories of Krillin in his mind.

From becoming a disciple of Master Roshi, to participating in the World Martial Arts Tournament with Goku, to being killed by King Piccolo's subordinates, and then being revived by Shenron... everything was vivid in his mind.
